    Removing the sleeve (封套), you will find a book that is entirely white,except for the names of its author and subject in elegant black type on the cover. It is the perfect design for the biography of a man who insisted that even the insides of his products be perfectly constructed, and that his factory walls flash in the whitest white.

    The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control,writes Isaacson in his introduction.Though Mr. Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way, generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews, this book offers quite a different view of Mr. Jobs, who won much praise from his fans after his death on October 5th at the age of 56.

    As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Isaacson knows how to celebrate long­dead genius, but he claimed that Steve Jobs would not be entirely praiseful words.The picture he paints, particularly in the first half of this book, is not nice. Mr. Jobs emerges as a controlling and often cold­blooded character. A child of the 1960s counter­culture (反主流文化)，he hated materialism and lived in simply furnished houses (in part because he was too particular about furniture),But when Apple went public in 1980, he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke, a longtime supporter and soul mate from college. “He has to abandon the people he is close to”, observes Andy Hertzfeld, an early Apple engineer.

    Mr. Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned. But also he could be cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employee’s work，he often shamed him.“This is who I am,” he once said after being challenged,“and you can’t expect me to be someone I’m not.” This disgusting personality wasn’t always helpful, but it served a purpose, writes Mr. Isaacson, many would “end their chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible”．

    Mr. Isaacson treats Steve Jobs as the biography of record,which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject’s death.

    1.The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design because________.

    A. it follows Jobs’ style

    B. its cover is entirely white

    C. black and white are his favorite

    D. it is designed by a famous biographer

    2.The picture of Jobs that Isaacson paints in his book is________.

    ①cruel ②humorous ③particular ④generous

    A. ①③ B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④

    3.It can be safely concluded that________.

    A. Jobs is highly spoken of in the book

    B. Isaacson doesn’t think Jobs a good man

    C. Jobs didn’t care about the design of the book

    D. all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book

    4.This passage can be classified as________.

    A. a personal diary B. a book review

    C. a news report D. a TV interview

    Wouldn’t you want to travel more often without breaking the bank? If you are interested, read on to find out how you can do simple things to save money next time you go on vacation.

    Airfares

    Plan in advance and visit discount websites to see if there are better deals. If you are planning to stay in two countries and an airline makes you change planes on those countries anyway, you might be in luck. Check pricing on the flights to see if you can stay a few days at the country of the flight change instead of changing planes right away since airlines often let you do that for the same price.

    Accommodations

    Sometimes the smaller towns close to where you are going have hotels that are much less expensive. If you don’t mind the 15-minute ride, you might just save a large amount of money. Home exchanges are pretty cool and popular especially in Europe. If you are of the adventure type, this could be exciting and refreshing. Sometimes smaller hotel chains are willing to give you free upgrades or even free nights. If you are staying at a destination for at least a few days, consider a vacation home instead of hotels. They are often more comfortable and your cost will probably be cheaper.

    Eating

    Figure out where you will be and eat before you actually go out. Avoid breakfast from the hotels because chances are good that the breakfast from the hotel is expensive and isn’t great. It probably pays to walk out the front door in the morning and find a local cafe. You might just discover the local favorite unexpectedly. Want a breakfast that costs nothing? Ask for some bread to-go at the restaurant the night before. In addition, fancy lunches are often much less expensive than dinners. If you eat a big lunch and a light dinner, it’s also healthier.

    1.What kind of travelers will choose a vocation home?

    A. Those who dislike small hotel chains.

    B. Those who want an adventure trip.

    C. Those who plan to live in one place for a few days.

    D. Those who don’t mind long-distance trips.

    2.To save money on eating, you are expected to ________.

    A. eat more for dinner than lunch

    B. have three meals in the hotels

    C. buy bread from restaurants

    D. try a local cafe for breakfast

    3.The text is mainly about ________.

    A. trips in different countries

    B. tips on economical travel

    C. dos and don’ts during a trip

    D. arrangements for a package holiday
